Aggressor

Aggressor\'s Mission BuilderIf your idea of a fun Saturday afternoon includes things like: pulling out your own hair, throwing your laptop out of a window or catching a glimpse of success only to have it taken away 2 minutes later, then you\'ve come to the right place. So you want to make your own missions? Well you can, technically, but at the same time you can\'t. Welcome to my guide on the mission builder and why you probably shouldn\'t use it for now. The mission builder was for a long time meant to be for me only. This means there are some serious bugs getting in the way of a smooth user experience. Because it is part of the game and available for players, I\'ll go over how to use it here to hopefully make the experience a bit better for those who want to give it a go. We\'ll start off simple and go from there to more advanced concepts.Starting OffBefore you do anything else, you need to be in a mission. Open the side panel by pressing Escape and click on the file icon at the top. You\'ll see a bunch of settings you can mostly ignore except for one: the world option. Click on it to set it to \"prefab\". The procedural mode will just break the game as far as I\'m aware. Select a map from the dropdown and it will load immediately. For this tutorial I will go with the Drylake map since it offers perfectly flat ground in the center which will be important for when we make a simple airport later. Missions are stored in C:/users/(name)/appdata/locallow/Flashpoint/Aggressor/customs/missionsAdding the Player AircraftCongratulations, you have a mission environment now! Use WASD to move around and your mouse to look. Space and shift control up/down movement. Holding \"F\" makes your speed increase 10x.Before a mission can be flown, it is absolutely necessary to assign a player aircraft. The mission wont be playable if you don\'t. Don\'t worry, after you\'ve set the player aircraft for the first time, the builder will from that point onwards ensure there is always at least one player. That means you\'re free to delete the player aircraft later, as the player will just be automatically reassigned to another aircraft. You cannot delete an aircraft if it\'s the only one left in the mission, because that would mean there is no player. The mission builder guards against this by not letting you.
